Vice President Vance’s wife, Usha Vance, will be visiting Greenland this week and they aren’t happy about it.<\/p>\n
Greenland\u2019s prime minister warned Sunday of \u201cAmerican aggression\u201d and lamented a \u201cmess\u201d caused by the upcoming visit from Vance, who will be accompanied by Trump\u2019s national security adviser and energy secretary.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
We already have a Space Force base in Greenland, Pituffik SB – you old-timers will know it better as Thule AFB, as it was formerly named.<\/p>\n
Trump\u2019s national security adviser, Mike Waltz, and Energy Secretary Chris Wright will also be travelling (sic) to Greenland, the White House said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Greenland, which is in a transition status between recent March 11 elections and the new government being installed, views the visit as an unannounced\u00a0 state visit. Greenlandic Prime Minister M\u00fate Bourup Egede (the old PM stays in office until the new government is formed) said:<\/p>\n
The visit of “the wife of the United States vice president and the United States president\u2019s highest security adviser cannot be seen only as a private visit,\u201d he said. \u201cWe can already see now, how big a mess it\u2019s caused.\u201d<\/p>\n
The likely next Greenlandic leader, Jens-Frederik Nielsen of Demokraatit…\u00a0\u201cWhen foreign dignitaries travel to our country on what are called private visits, it rightly causes concern,” he wrote on Facebook. \u201cThere is no reason to panic. But there is good reason to stand together and to demand respect. I do. And I will continue to do so.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
They have reason to be apprehensive – President Trump has repeatedly said he wants Greenland.<\/p>\n
Since returning to the White House, Trump has repeatedly said that the U.S. will come to control Greenland while insisting he supports the idea for strategic national security reasons \u2014 not with an eye toward American expansionism.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo you have to ask yourself: How are we going to solve that problem, solve our own national security?” JD Vance said on Fox News. \u201cIf that means that we need to take more territorial interest in Greenland, that is what President Trump is going to do, because he doesn\u2019t care about what the Europeans scream at us.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Seems to blow past Trump and Vance that Greenland is a protectorate of Denmark, a NATO member and ally. Or, perhaps, they really don’t care about NATO.<\/p>\n
Vice President JD Vance \u2014 her husband \u2014 blasted Denmark for \u201cnot doing its job\u201d and “not being a good ally.”\u00a0 AP<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
“Gimme your lunch money. Be a pal. Or I’ll beat you up” is the kind of threat a grade school bully makes.<\/p>\n
Damned if I can hear the difference.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
